# Chat
> Have conversations with CodeAnt AI directly on your pull requests
## Overview
CodeAnt AI's chat feature lets you have real-time conversations directly within your pull requests. Ask questions, challenge review suggestions, request deeper analysis, or get clarification — all without leaving your PR.
## How It Works
### Ask a Question on the PR
Tag CodeAnt AI in any PR comment to ask a question about the overall changes:
```plaintext theme={null}
@codeant-ai ask: Your question here
```
You'll receive a contextually accurate answer within seconds, grounded in the actual code changes in the PR.
### Ask Inline Questions
Reply to a specific line or code block to ask targeted questions:
```plaintext theme={null}
@codeant-ai: Why was this timeout value chosen?
```
CodeAnt AI analyzes the surrounding code context and the full diff to provide a relevant answer.
### Respond to Review Comments
When CodeAnt AI posts a review comment, you can reply directly to it:
* **Ask for more details:** `@codeant-ai: Can you explain the impact of this change?`
* **Challenge a suggestion:** `@codeant-ai: Do not suggest this as I am fine with the current behavior`
* **Request alternatives:** `@codeant-ai: Are there other ways to fix this?`
A developer told CodeAnt AI to stop flagging type error and value error issues for a repository. CodeAnt AI saved this as a customized review instruction and applied it to all matching files.
After reviewing the quality gate results, a developer asked:
> `@codeant-ai: Are we using the LLM properly to filter out false positives?`
CodeAnt AI responds with an analysis of the current false positive filtering logic, referencing the specific code paths involved.
## Use Cases
| Scenario | Example Command |

| Understand a code change | `@codeant-ai ask: What does this PR change in the authentication flow?` |
| Validate a review comment | `@codeant-ai: Is this really a critical issue?` |
| Get architectural context | `@codeant-ai ask: How does this module interact with the API layer?` |
| Dismiss a suggestion | Reply to the comment with your reasoning |
| Request a re-review | `@codeant-ai: review` |
## Examples
**1. Ask the entire pull request**
